Whence we eventutally achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) or become inter-planetary species, half the society will be arguing, this proves God never existed and such an achievement is testatament to the fact that such intelligence can be built from ground up. However, the other half will argue, the fact this has been achieved, concretizes their belief in God since they had read this from centuries old scriptures. How will we solve this dilemma ?

This justification doesn’t work when you equate anciently-built Egyptian Pyramids with a modern Burj Khalifa. Did the Egyptians time travel to get modern tools? I may code in Python - but someone else can easily write my functions in C++. Or Fortran. And then, someone may do it in Binary. Your tools are unique - not advanced. You wouldn’t need advanced tools if you are really smart.” - Mrinal Wahal (2019)

Memoirs from Contemplation

“There is a happily ever after, if you work hard towards it. Interplanetary warfare is also not comprehensible, but we’ll get there because we are working hard towards it. If you won’t teach, inspire, correct and scold each other, you serve no purpose in each other’s lives, and you are just asking for a boring readymade relationship hoping everything will hunky-dory in the future without working judiciously to build each other. If you are courageous enough and work tirelessly towards it, you can build anything - including a ‘happily ever after’. Don’t use your lazy ass to demean others who are trying.” - 26th April, 2020

“She is doing everything to me that I did to her. And she is doing it as unintentionally as I did.” - 20th April, 2020
